BALTIMORE, Maryland -- Browns left tackle Joe Thomas made history on Sunday afternoon at M&T Bank Stadium, playing his 10,000th consecutive offensive snap. Thomas has not missed a snap since coming into the league as the No. 3 overall pick in 2007.

"I think it was just something that was engrained in me from when I was a little kid," Thomas said on Thursday. "It was just all about being out there to help your teammates, doing everything you can to help the team win and fighting through pain and adversity."

Thomas' snap streak is believed to be the longest in the history of the NFL.
